School Board

The School Board of Good Shepherd Lutheran School strives to organize and operate the school to help students and families grow in Christ. To this end, the School Board functions to God’s glory in maintaining spiritual, curricular, organizational, staff and financial leadership for the school.

The job of the School Board is to govern, not manage, the school.

The School Board members pledge themselves to serve the Lord and to:

  • Ensure the school will operate for the benefit of all families and children, regardless of race, color, background or national origin

  • Hold with integrity, confidentiality, and mutual trust the office entrusted to them
  • Seek the spiritual welfare of children and families; most of all upholding with God’s help our mission to make disciples of people
  • Strive to maintain organizational and financial responsibility for the school
  • Supervise and support all church workers and staff
  • Facilitate yearly goal setting, audits and accreditation for the school

Member selection:

A nominating committee, chosen by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church's Leadership Team, presents a slate of candidates for all elected offices.  Only active members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church who are at least 18 years of age are eligible to hold elective positions. The candidates are voted on during the voter’s assembly meeting of church members. Newly elected officers and board members assume their duties of office as of July 1st.
